Concepts
of Deity

Wiccans,
Pagans and Witches see
the Goddess and God as aspects of the One. Our ability to comprehend the universe
and the world around us is limited, and viewing the Divine as
masculine and feminine aspects of the One Universal power helps
us understand this energy a little better.
We
accept that different aspects of the Divine combine to make
the whole or One. This allows individuals or groups to
attune with nature and the creative force in a
way they are most comfortable with. Some call upon the
Divine by different names, but this doesnot
mean we see a total seperation of deities. The following is an
explanation of this concept of deities which most agree
upon.

The
Supreme Creative Force: The One is the all encompassing unity
of all things which exist. This includes that which is manifest
to our limited awareness and understanding as well as that which
is not. The One is infinite to a point that the human mind simply
cannot comprehend its vastness.

Polarities
of The One: The Goddess and God are seen as a manifestation
of the feminine and masculine forces of nature. Each having
unique characteristics that when combined result in the harmonious
creation of life. We see examples of this in everything around
us as nothing can exist without the interaction of feminine
and masculine energy. This creative energy is omnipresent. They
are concepts that allow the human mind to comprehend the creative
force of the world around us.

Giving
name to the divine or feminine and masculine energies is in
many ways irrelevant and certainly cannot justify the wars and
bloodshed history has seen because of it. They are simply names
humanity, a culture or specific belief system has created over
time for association purposes.

It
really matters little whether we associate with the divine as
the "Father, Son and Holy Ghost" or "The One,
Goddess and God." Ultimately, the concept is the same.
